Good watch books?

[Kitsan]

I've got a few in my amazon basket, but I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations?

I was particularly looking for a good book that provides an overview/history of movements and their strengths/weaknesses. If such an example exists?

What's in your basket already?

The one I hear recommended a lot is Watchmaking by George Daniels, but I've not actually read it myself so don't know if it covers particular movements, etc.

Chronographs - Lang

Rolex, best of times - Dowling and Hess.
